Hi all,
What I am seeing from the posts is two sides of the same coin. Many feel 
that we as the blind comunity should contact companies directly while 
others feel we should involve RNIB, NFB, AFB, etc. Actually, both sides 
of the issue are correct, and it should be our goal to reach out to both 
to get things to happen.
 If we are truly serious about this the first goal is to get organised. 
Elect a chairman of the movement, elect someone as a contact person, 
someone to draft patitions, etc... In other words form an organisation 
where everyone has a certain job, and raise money to actually carry out 
the goals.
Second, contact other groups for the visually impaired such as NFB to 
aid in this cause. They have the lawyers, funding, support, etc we don't 
have and extra help wouldn't hurt the cause.
Third, find contacts in the game companies such as Microsoft Game 
Studios, Nintendo, Activision, etc... Get the ball rolling and hope to 
get them talking about accessibility in a more than an academic sense.
Fourth, get some media coverage on the movement. Sad to say but our 
freedom of the press can be used to heavy advantage here. Get the public 
at large interested in discussing it, and companies will want to save 
face by doing something to add some accessibility.
